Author Topic: how do you pronounce waffle  (Read 21735 times)

waffle

american/canadians say it as wah-full (ie like awful)

i hear that in other countries it is different and i was curious as to how in the holy name of richard can waffle be pronounced differently





blatant

is it blay-tint or blah-tint





egregious, that mythical word

is it eh-greg-ree-us or eh-gree-jee-us






prix, like the grand prix races

is it prix like twix, or is it prix like pree

i'm not going to tell you how i pronounce it because i feel like i'd get lynched for it







cicada (those screeching tree bugs)

i've always mentally pronounced it as kee-kada

but i know someone who says it as seh-cay-da






cyan

i've never heard it spoken out loud so i always pronounce it as "sai-ann"

but some people pronounce it as "see-ann"??? what???







queue

i have never heard this word or spoke it in my entire life because i have no clue if its like "cheque" or if its just "q" or something ridiculous with that spelling







paradigm

i pronounce it as pair-a dij-im

but i know people who pronounce it as pair-a-dime



i've never heard this word ever be used out loud so enlighten me
